ServiceMaster Clean franchise given service awards

WICHITA, KS — The ServiceMaster Clean franchise owned by Jerry Winkley has gotten lots of recognition lately — and not only from satisfied customers, according to the Wichita Eagle.

ServiceMaster Clean in a Wink, owned by Winkley for 22 years, was among 11 franchises in the United States and Canada that received Expert Awards at ServiceMaster''s national convention in July, the story stated.

According to the story, Wanda Pierce, a fire restoration cleaning supervisor employed by Winkley, received one of four National Service Partner of the Year awards at the convention.

Winkley said: "Any letters we receive, anything a customer has written, I read for the entire team. I want the message to be that the difference you make in people''s lives, they always appreciate it."

Winkley''s business employs 65 people and includes "about three dozen" service vehicles; a recent expansion included opening a commercial and janitorial cleaning service in January, the story added.
